So yeah, anything that helps the actors immerse themselves in the scene like this is a huge benefit.

Yes, that’s the PR line that I think is being vastly overblown here. As I said, the experience of having some kind of representation available for actors to use on a stage is not new, and this isn’t the Holodeck, it’s just a distorted projection on a wall 30 feet away. It’s slightly less real (for the actor) than what…

I feel like the “actors know what they’re looking at” thing is a vastly overblown benefit of this technology.

I’m not looking forward to the inevitable time when everything is filmed this way. You can already tell in The Maladorian that all the action in contained to a small flat area. It drove me crazy watching the first season, because it felt like green screen even though it didn’t look like green screen, and then I saw…

The failure of those kinds of “compromises” is that whatever problems they are designed to solve are simple not worth solving. Maybe the SEO for those pages tank, or maybe links across the site are hard to redirect, or maybe it does introduce some legitimate confusion for visitors.

Many repeated the phrase “stormed off the set” in headlines

No need for wiring, no traffic lights to install and maintain. It’s simply a build it and forget it project.

Yeah, no. Roundabouts are great for low-density areas, but they’re not good for neighborhoods, and since mini-roundabouts (solely designed as a cost-saving measure, since you pretty much just stick a circle in the middle of an existing intersection) have basically the same sharp turning angles as regular…

Okay, I watched this for 5 minutes and literally every car but one, about two dozen total, stopped at the stop sign.

Are you kidding? Not every intersection can be a roundabout. They have thier place (and are all over the US now), but they’re very costly to construct and maintain, and they and take up way too much space for most use-cases.

I don’t know, there are a lot of paranormal shows on the CW, and this seems like something a teenage audience (and teenage-at heart) would enjoy.

She’s so good in it, too!

Not only was it a very weird (and creepy AF) introduction to his character, but the scene where Bruce throws his batarang at him later on was a waaaaayy better reveal of his abilities to the audience, and now that scene, and how it’s filmed to be a reveal, has no impact at all.

This feels like they were testing out a system for automatically taking action on certain literal phrases (so they can move swiftly to moderate the platform during unexpected news events that involve disinformation , hate, or danger), and “Memphis” was simply their stand-in phrase during testing.

Oof. This felt like a first-draft YouTube sketch, or like they were performing for an live studio audience.

I wouldn’t be surprised if an edict came down from Disney to not admit that COVID reshoots had any substantive impact on the production.

So much media has been obviously impacted in ways that are visible in the final product, and obviously there is sympathy and understanding on the part of viewers, but what business…

we ended up, you know, moving it aside because a huge detour in the middle of everything we had going [on]

He’s still writing an episode or two and exec producing on the second season, just not showrunning anymore because he’s working on his Adventures of Kavalier & Clay series.

I’m not talking about financial struggles, clearly. 🙄
